First Birthdays

Every baby deserves a chance to take their first step. To say their first word. To start their first day of school. To graduate from college. To get their first job. To have a baby. To get married. To be President! (National Healthy Start Association Infant Mortality Awareness Campaign.)

Community Development for All People agrees! And to support families and babies living on the South Side of Columbus, we want to celebrate first birthdays and encourage families along the way. Every baby born in our community will be welcomed and celebrated, surrounded by a supportive family, receive loving care and thrive in the years beyond! In collaboration with Nationwide Children’s Hospital, CD4AP hosts quarterly birthday parties celebrating every baby who has reached her/his first birthday during those months. These parties provide fun for babies and their older siblings, door prizes, diapers, and vendor tables with lots of great info and resources available in our community.

Be A Participant

Do you live on the South Side with a child under the age of one? Are you pregnant? You may be eligible to be a part of the First Birthdays program! Give us a call and we will get you registered for the party and will do a series of home visits to ensure that you have the resources possible to have a healthy pregnancy and a thriving baby.
